Hello guys, I know a lot of people just check moisture with their fingers. But if I don't trust my fingers, can you recommend a reliable moisture checker?

Areca Palm Struggling Indoors

I have this Areca palm that was kept outdoors last summer in Illinois, USA. It did well and was repotted in August 2022 into a very large pot, maybe 18” diameter and 20” tall. Once the temperature started dropping in October 2022, it was brought indoors for the winter. It has been watered every 10-14 days, and given Palm Tone fertilizer twice since then, once in winter and once recently The leaves have some discoloration, which I think is just old leaves that need to be trimmed. The color looks alright, not great. But I am concerned because it shot out a new leaf a few weeks ago, but it hasn’t opened up yet. Any help would be appreciated! I think the weathe…

What pots should I get
by PashkaTLT- 1 follower

Hello guys, So I get my palms in those black nursery containers with holes at the bottom. I assume I need to put those nursery containers in some good looking pots? And those external looking pots should have no holes (otherwise how do I water my palms inside?)? But if the external pots will have no holes, there's a chance that too much water will stay at the bottom?

Jubaea Chilensis - spear pull
by The Converted- 4 replies
- 386 views
Evening all I was hoping someone might be able to provide some reassurance... I have a small, 5 year old JC. It was left out for much of the winter, albeit, undercover. On a couple of really cold (-9) nights it was moved into the conservatory. A couple of months ago I noticed that last years spears (which were still emerging) were starting to brown. I thought I would give them a gentle pull, and unfortunately they both pull straight out. I suspect the cold got to it given we had several weeks where even day time temps barely got above freezing. After my initial panic / disappointment I order some Hydrogen Peroxide and treated the growing point every coup…

Hi everyone, I have been growing two date palms in from seed for the last 2 years. I am based just outside Amsterdam, Netherlands. I gave a third one to a friend who lived in Portugal after it started growing a bit from the seed and it is doing great. That one has a thick trunk by now and many more leaves, which are also darker green. I have attached a photo for comparison purposes. However, my two date palms are not doing very well... The leaves have started getting brown and some have even dried out. Is it too much water? Too little water? I also noticed that small roots have started coming out at the bottom of the pot of one palm, but nothing major yet. …

Chamaedorea anemophila seedlings not doing great
by fotodimatti- 9 replies
- 667 views
Dear palm friends! Whats wrong with my seedlings? I was rather lucky germinating a RPS batch of Chamaedorea anemophila seeds a year ago. But most of the seedlings seem to suffer a bit. They show brown tips. I grow them indoors in non-direct light in moist soil with good drainage. With temperatures of 16-18 degrees Centigrade in the night and up to 20 degress in the daytime. In the winter I push the air humidity to around 60% with the help of an air humidifier. Some specimen I have even put into a mini greenhouse with 80-95% air humidity. But almost all of them show brown leaf tips. I grow other understory palm trees with much more success in the very sa…

I have some seedlings of this plant, which I keep under a cover, considering it is a rainforest plant. But now that they have grown up and are running out of covers, I would like to ask if they are sensitive to humidity and can survive at 30%-40% humidity.

My seconda coconut palm

This od my seconda coconut palm, which I bought on May 7, 2022. At first it was pretty, but then it caught a spider mite and I can't get rid of it with any chemicals. The leaves slowly turn yellow. Do these roots look healthy? I spray the palm with warm water almost every day. He has a very clear position. I water every 7-10 days because the root ball dries slowly. The soil is permeable. Palm pot, drainage with holes at the bottom. I live in Poland, so it's not like Florida or California.

Good morning everyone, and Happy Easter to all that celebrate 🎊 My Licuala Grandis hasn’t been doing very well but I’m not sure what is wrong with it. It looks like some kind of mold/fungus. It has this white/yellowish area at the base of most leaves. I couldn’t identify any large changes when it started. Humidity is too low but I’m working on a solution, receives plenty of light but not too much direct sunlight. Soil could probably be improved upon. Perhaps someone could identify what is wrong? (And ideally propose a solution haha) I like it a lot so hope to save it 😁 Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. …

I have this tiny Jubaea Chilensis seedling. How soon should I repot it in a more fertile potting mix or supply fertilizer in the existing pot? It’s in a solo cup right now with not super fertile soil. Just basic starter soil mix with perlite and peat and topsoil.

Is there any chance to survive?

Hi, I took this plant (perhaps two months old Washingtonia) from a 11a warm region and planted it on the windowsill (5a outside). She suffered a terrible drying plane flight and looked almost dead for two weeks. Now she has a new thin root 5 millimeters long and this bright green stem (10mm). I use a phytolamp, maintain heat and humidity, but I don't know if the plant is still alive. Is there any chance and what should I do? Thank you
